For us, i think this is the best, most vivid reminder that there is a real war going on here. Zelensky rejected peace negotiations. At a meeting with erdogan in turkey, he stressed that moscow should not take part in developing a plan to resolve the ukrainian conflict. And he walked with an important air around the shipyard, where the construction of two corvettes for the Ukrainian Navy is underway, as if emphasizing that the country is arming itself. At that time , forced evacuation was announced in the kharkov region. The Ukrainian Armed forces are forced to retreat under the pressure of the russian army, sounds her approach is getting louder. Elena erofeeva, alexander yatushenko, andrey rudenko, lead the week. Diplomatic scandal. On march 4 , ambassadors of the European Union countries were invited to moscow for a conversation with sergei lavrov. What do you think, 2 days before the scheduled event, before the meeting, they sent us a note , we decided not to go, you can imagine, these are relations with states at the diplomatic level, whose ambassadors are afraid to come to a meeting with the minister of the country in which they are accredited how is it in general where it is visible, however, crude russophobia has long become a calling card. Europe. About the latest events in the old world, mikhail antonov. In the nordic response exercise, which began this week, sweden took part for the first time as a nato member. She was enrolled in the ranks of the organization on march 7, thus violating the formal neutrality that had lasted since the end of the napoleonic wars. In the supposed Northern European theater of military operations against russia. Does not show cowardice, we must show courage. There can be no two opinions about who should show courage. Macron is talking about germany, which, according to paris and london, is only showing cowardice. In berlin, macron is quietly hated, but not only for this. We do not need discussions about more or less courage or about the use of ground forces. The leaders of french parliamentary parties tried to get an explanation from macron regarding his recent statements. The opposition came away shocked by the fact that the president , it turns out, has no reds at all lines, as he himself admitted to them. Or does macron have different explanations prepared for different audiences . Hes almost in front of the people. The key argument in the accusations against scholz is that the military allegedly has a plan to destroy the crimean bridge, and in such a way that the russians would not have a formal reason to consider this a german attack on their territory, thereby eliminating a contradiction with the provisions of the constitution prohibiting actions which could be considered an act of aggression against a foreign states. There is one subtlety here. Which drew the attention of retired general roland kater. The germans may not recognize russian jurisdiction, but only parts of the crimean bridge, after all, it is an integral infrastructure structure. 1 3 of the bridge is on russian territory, then putin can rightfully say that now germany has entered the war. However, in germany there are unique people who do not see any risks at all in taurus attacks on russian territory. Such. Usually show strong signs paradoxical thinking, they are either too cunning or very naive. Ukraine should be able to transfer the war to russian territory. It cannot be that we supply longrange Weapons Systems and then do not think about how control over them is carried out, if control is possible only with the participation of german soldiers, then for me this is out of the question, i made this very clear, i am the chancellor, therefore the solution remains. Unlike britain and france, which have been supplying cruise missiles to ukraine for a long time, they are clearly operators to them secretly, germany does not have its own Nuclear Weapons with which to hide from retaliation from russia. The head of the British Foreign office, cameron, tried to ease the pain of making a decision for the germans this week. Arriving in berlin, he announced londons readiness to buy taurus from germany in order to transfer them to ukraine on behalf of britain. We have a separate report about this ahead, but for now a little instructive history stalin would turn over in his grave if he found out that the same albania, which he doted on, was today, figuratively speaking, natos boots are being trampled, because the soviet union supplied albania with everything from construction free of charge. Everyone will attack me, they just dont know anything, that is, the soviet union held albania in the palm of its hand, figuratively speaking, and albania too, generally polished at one time, but today specifically about albania, it was love based on ideological compatibility, and if love, then money doesnt count, despicable matter compared to a high feeling, invariably. The leader of albania was then enver hoxha, he was to stalin erected a lifesize bronze monument in his country, and the state model was also copied by ours, albania together. With other Eastern European countries of prosoviet orientation, it joined the council for mutual economic assistance, and then became a member of the general Defense Alliance of the warsaw pact. Everything seemed to be going well, and the ussr supplied albania with everything, including hay and straw. There were two ships that visited albania every month. There were landing troops, and what did they bring . Tanks, artillery, everything, weapons, and even there i found this straw for mules, it was very important for a mountainous country, to have it in the army, even straw was born, thats it, here we have a hard lesson, lofty ideological feelings turn out to be changeable. It happened not with the albanians, but with us. The albanian leader enver hoxha did not accept the debunking of stalin in the ussr. In order to explain his line, Nikita Sergeevich khrushchov flew to albania at the end of may 1959. We met with enver hoxha at the Pashaliman Naval base, built with the help of the ussr, where then up to a dozen of our submarines were based. Khrushchev clearly underestimated the threatening erosion, he was much more fascinated by the prospect, turning to the ussr minister of defense accompanying him, marshal radiona malinovsky, khrushchev exclaimed. Magnificent, magnificent, what a safe bay at the foot of these mountains. If we place a powerful fleet here, the entire Mediterranean Sea from basphora to gibraltar will be in our hands, we can squeeze anyone into our fist. This is the case in albania. Will diverge from china, will take the path of a tough, closed autotarchy in combination with radical atheism. Enver hoxha chooses his own path for the tiny country, not associated with anyone. With our scale, it didnt matter to us. The squad did not notice the loss of the fighter. For the west too, this selfobsessed little thing was not a good card. Decades have passed, and it has become clearer. Ukraine, the western order crumbled and bah, but in albania there is a wonderful military airfield, Still Standing idle from soviet times, and a naval base too, nato is salivating, about how . Report by Denis Davidov from albania. There will also be kind words addressed to. Russia, which in you dont expect to hear about unfriendly albania; its even more surprising to learn that there is a Russophile Movement here. I know a lot of albanians who have been against this since childhood. What our government has done, sanctions , why should the nato bloc, sanctions against the Russian Federation help ukraine, i think, as a small country, it has given more than other countries, well, that is, you think that they are simply taking advantage of such small countries, of course, 100 , there is no albanian sovereignty now at this moment, when albania was closed by the state, respect for albania there was more than now. The partners laugh at the nato member who is an eternal candidate for eu membership. Albanians wrote a thousand complaints to the british bbc in 2011, not appreciating the specific english humor. The hosts of the top gear car program spent an entire episode joking about old cars and the mafia, which included almost the entire country. When someone from the albanian mafia chooses a car, he always has one question will it be possible to hide the body in the trunk. Put over local residents, the cheerful trio was then 13 years old back i drove along the runway of a military airfield, they were surprised, its a nato country, everything is in soviet planes, the base was built not by nato, but by the soviet union, the runway is 2 km, the aircraft parking areas are not in the open air, hidden in the mountains. In 1955, when the work was completed, the twentythird fighter regiment deployed here. Now in kuchovo it is not clear what, the base is after reconstruction. It was opened with pomp, but several nato planes flew in from italy only for the duration of the ceremony. Three turkish drones will be stationed there permanently. This base in kucov is important for natos mission. The assistance that albania can provide to neighboring countries will make us more valuable than ever. Anything can be expected from the eastern front; we must be ready to join forces and combine our defense capabilities. Albania invested 5 Million Euros in reconstruction, nato. 50. Investments did not go beyond the perimeter of the airfield. The alliance does not plan to spend money on infrastructure, as the soviet union did. The Still Standing khrushchev buildings remind of the scale, although the name of stalin is closer to the town of kuchev. Kucheva the name is relative new on the map of albania. Until 1991, this place was called the city of stalin, or in the russian manner, stalingrad. Stalin was idolized by the leader of albania, enver hoxha. He erected monuments to him. During his lifetime, now, of course, they cannot be found, in the Central Square of the capital there is a monument dedicated to the Main National hero skanderbeg, who in the 15th century rebelled against the turks. Albania will be a turkish province, nothing more. The film the great warrior of albania skanderbeg is about how the plans of the turks were broken and the struggle for freedom went on. Albanians, it was not i who brought you victory. I found her. In your hearts, freedom lived in your souls , raise high the banner of your native albania, a 1953 film by the outstanding soviet director yutkevich with music by sviridov, filmed, by the way, at the new albania film studio, which the soviet union built for the fraternal country, as well as the main opera and ballet theater , a leading university and much, much more. Happened, my father said that they had already taken everything for themselves into their personal hands, hodja, yes, only hodja, and he was in the center of everything, but did not understand anything, he was a master, playing card poker, worse he bet on china, breaking with the soviet union and, like a clever swindler, threw out all those who disagreed, father friederik taschka, a prominent diplomat, from the deck. He was thrown into prison for 10 years, and his wife and children were sent into exile away from the capital for 30 years. The furnace cannot work to smelt steel if the slag is not removed, so with the ideals of marxismlenism, we must remove all the slag, he drove every third albanian through repression, look for dissenters, intractable and unreliable, the sigurimi secret police helped, this is inside, but from external the enemies were protected by the army, in terms of the amount of ammunition per capita, the small country was ahead of the rest, they stockpiled 200,000 tons. Hieroglyphs, because the cars are chinese, having quarreled with the soviet union, hotzhe. The question is rather rhetorical; at the summit they discussed support for ukraine; the only thing albania was able to convey was cartridges for kalashnikov assault rifles, a legacy of the ussr. There is no financial assistance, we have to offer services. Albania is an active participant in the antirussian coalition, western countries and, first of all, nato, it was so called coeditor of the United States on the ukrainian dossier. In this capacity she took part in the development of all the most significant antirussian decisions and statements. Having transferred the former air base to nato, albania is actively offering its partners a naval base, which the soviet union also built for it at one time.
